Possibly some of the hottest shots of Helena Christensen in a long and illustrious career as one of the original supermodels and proof that 44 is no age to hang up your heels. Helena, I still would. I think you should know that.</div>

It's (allegedly) summer, which means people are thinking boat shoes and riviera chic. And things are no different over at Visvim towers, where Hiroki Nakamura has added a bit of colour to this year's Hockney offering. </div>

As well as your standard black and brown and navy, there's a royal blue and a plum and a minty green for you to fawn over. And as any Vis-head will tell you, socks are optional but frowned upon. Unless you're thinking about reselling them any time, in which case they are recommended, if only for the sake of the new owner. </div>

These are an F.I.L exclusive so get in touch with your friendly neighbourhood proxy.<br />

Artists will often find inspiration in that which is dear to them, so it would be acceptable to draw the conclusion that the South Korean artist, Yang Tae Tae has been quite taken by Rapha.<br />

Christopher Nolan has become the go-to man for rebooted superhero franchises. His Batman series took the Dark Knight back to his grim beginnings and dispensed with the chubby casting, ushering in the perennially disturbed Christian Bale. The gadgets became believable, the sets apocolyptic, and the whole feeling was of aching, jaw-dropping cool. And that's before we've even started on the villains.<br />
<br />
But Batman is over, the trilogy complete. Bruce Wayne has skipped off into the sunset with Selina Kyle and there isn't a millimetre of polycarbonate resin between them. All is quiet in Gotham.<br />
<br />
Well not exactly. Because where Nolan has dropped one Marvel man off, he's picked the next one up. Many will be familiar with Batman's battles with Superman in the Marvel comics. The pair never really did see eye to eye with Batman existing just below the law and Superman regarded as a Government sell-out by the Dark Knight.<br />
<br />
There's no telling whether Nolan will pick up that particular storyline but his incarnation of Superman has certainly been sprinkled with a bit of Batman cool. This is moody, gritty, and full of big things which go bump in a big way. And that's just the trailer.<br />
<br />
Judging by the other recent efforts at reviving Superman, it would be fair to say Nolan is becoming the superhero's superhero.<br />

Back in 2001 Visvim brought itself to the attention of the world with a pair of fringed mocassins with a trainer soul. The world stood there, gobsmacked, and many people asked themselves "why didn't we think of that?"<br />
<br />
Fast forward 12 years and most of the brands who said that have just decided "fuck it" and released their own rip-offs of the Visvim FBT. Visvim, as we all know, took no notice of what anyone else is doing, and carried on leading the way with its trainer-soled creations and jackets with coloured seam tape. And when absolutely everyone had got wise to these details and the street fashion industry was awash with coloured seam-tape and waterproof zips, Visvim, or Hiroki Nakamura to be precise, simply abandoned the whole technical side of clothing manufacture and concentrated knocking out stuff made out of yarn that was shat out of the arse of a yak, and that kind of thing. And all the time the price of the creations has gone up and up.<br />
<br />
But while Visvim has evolved, or devolved, whichever way you look at it, there is one thing that has remained constant. The FBT shoe that started it all is still being released, year after year. This time around it is fringed with a tablecloth belonging to a frail Hungarian fishwife.<br />
<br />
The proceeds will go towards the replacement, so I'm told. <br />

Part of the appeal of W)Taps is the timeless nature of the military-inspired collections. Haters might label it military surplus but it's a bit more than that, in terms of quality and looks.<br />
<br />
This is a bit Real McCoys or Buzz Rickson's but without the slavish adherence to the original patterns and with one or two modern twists.<br />
<br />
Think of it as re-imagined military surplus.<br />

They've already done a grey version and now Loopwheeler are back to give Nike's vintage Vortex another supersoft jersey reworking with a pair in Fuwa Max.<br />
<br />
These will be, as you might expect, incredibly soft, manufactured from Loopwheeler's trademark cotton jersey. They will also be pretty difficult to come by. They are scheduled for a May 18 release in Loopwheeler stores Japan and selected Beams stores as well as one or two Nike stores around the world.<br />
<br />
No word on a UK release at time of writing but if they're going to drop anywhere it will most likely be at <a href="http://www.1948london.com/">1948London</a>.<br />

There's something quite cool about cycling mitts, especially when they look like they could have provided marco Pantani himself with added grip as he carved through the field on one of his Tours de France. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But appearances can be deceptive. This is the debut collection from Gantolini, a small Canadian company which has been so taken with the romance of the heritage of cycling they decided to make something that could have come from the archives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You get three styles, in the colours of Italy, Germany and France, as well as a pair with plain crochet backing and another pair with black crochet backing, and you can choose to go with knuckle holes or without.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgikv73y164EZ3gkOzloXOEOe7jyQFw1nlusQg80USuOzvVoNO1sTwy89By4qEyhR8gpcteBI7_tzBDUXwDAMK5dR2_9t8d63Qjh55DwVdJdTNuWmYAECBbwVTgsDvdNHWm1QDi88Lw5XsN/s1600/SS13-Raeburn-Wind-Jacket-Green-Orange-1-e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgikv73y164EZ3gkOzloXOEOe7jyQFw1nlusQg80USuOzvVoNO1sTwy89By4qEyhR8gpcteBI7_tzBDUXwDAMK5dR2_9t8d63Qjh55DwVdJdTNuWmYAECBbwVTgsDvdNHWm1QDi88Lw5XsN/s400/SS13-Raeburn-Wind-Jacket-Green-Orange-1-e.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Who would have known that parachute silk would make the perfect cycling jacket material? Lightweight, inherently stashable and totally windproof. It makes sense when you think about it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Something that didn't escape Christopher Raeburn, who is no stranger to parachute silk in creating his garments. This is a man who has built a brand from recycling military-grade clothing and equipment using cutting edge processes and adding a technical twist. Old parachutes have always been a favourite, inspired by a picture of his Gran getting married in a dress made from one in the Second World War. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_FYIvgvPKWx-xevJNULKjBKklvuE4MSLFbvwfzpedQL_BllAN-nW-XkGd0t5Uvw_HGB42prKVw49lN3yibE4abEhF6evtK2XMs5rLo3u44v4t2h5QqFiE1sVTq0WMRan76CDpDX_Tu4P1/s1600/photo+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_FYIvgvPKWx-xevJNULKjBKklvuE4MSLFbvwfzpedQL_BllAN-nW-XkGd0t5Uvw_HGB42prKVw49lN3yibE4abEhF6evtK2XMs5rLo3u44v4t2h5QqFiE1sVTq0WMRan76CDpDX_Tu4P1/s200/photo+(1).JPG" width="200" /></a>The collaboration with Rapha directly stems from Christopher's brother Graeme, who has designed Rapha's products from the outset. The only real surprise, given the obvious compatibility of the two brands and the fact that they are brothers, is that the collaboration has taken this long to come to fruition.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
But it is here now, in the form of a capsule collection of three pieces - a pair of jeans, a henley T-shirt and the key item, a city windproof jacket. This is so limited in production that it is individually numbered and is available in only three colours, orange, white and green, dictated by the colours of military issue parachute canopies. Only 600 pieces have been produced: 300 white, 200 green and 100 orange. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
They are handmade in England at Cooper & Stollbrand's factory in Manchester, the manufacturer of the Private White VC brand, and as you would expect from individually numbered pieces (number 13 is stitched on upside down in cycling tradition to avoid bad luck), each one is unique, often bearing the original USAF serial numbers which offer a reference to the material's original purpose. As you would also expect, the jackets are exquisitely made, with industry-leading Swiss Riri zip fastenings, glove-friendly neoprene cuffs and a hood that rolls up neatly and secures behind a Rapha Raeburn branded snap-rivet. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">

<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
The one thing the jacket does not purport to be, however, is waterproof, although a quick Google search has uncovered forum posts from people who have successfully waterproofed parachute silk using proofing spray. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
How the Rapha Raeburn rain jacket would stand up to a squirt from Rapha reproofer is as yet undocumented but it would make what is destined to become a classic in cycling jacket design nothing short of perfection. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
It is close to that already.</div>

OK so it's got Damian Lewis and Shannyn Sossamonand in it, and a drop-dead gorgeous car even if it is red, and it's shot, well, in a cool way.<br />
<br />
But this film is still a pile of crap. This is because there's no way some beaten up old Lincoln or whatever that American relic of an automobile is would be able to keep up with a Jag (maybe at one time but they're a little more reliable these days).<br />
<br />
And what was that woman doing stashed in an oil tanker?<br />

These remind me a lot of a pair of Adidas I had once. It's something to do with the soles, which Hiroki has chosen to fashion out of gum brown instead of white. Makes for a different take on the Foley, but we'll have to see if anyone actually likes them.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Santini. The very name oozes Italian style. It says panache, it says speed, it conjures images of a little Italian rider named Pepe, or maybe Francesco, dancing his way up a dolomite on a vintage Colnago or Pinarello.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And since Santini was founded back in 1965, it would be fair to say that plenty of little Italian riders, maybe not necessarily named Pepe, have indeed conquered mountains wearing Santini.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a brand with a heritage which others would give their eye teeth for. Santini jerseys were on the back of Bernard Hinault when he became world champion in 1980, Marco Pantani when he won the Giro in 1998 and Cadel Evans when he took the world championship in 2009. And we haven’t even scratched the surface. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Santini is such an integral part of cycling that it has been a partner of the Giro d’Italia since 1993 and has been the official supplier and sponsor of cycling clothing to the UCI since 1994. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It’s surprising the brand hasn’t made more use of these facts, worn them on their sleeve, so to speak. But rather than shout it from the rooftops, Santini has taken the rather more refined, Italian approach and let the clothing and its pedigree speak for itself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All this history mattered not one jot to me on a minus-one degree morning at the beginning of April. All I could think was that this time last year we were basking in a heatwave.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
By some miracle, given the time of year and the promotion of the new spring-summer collections, the kit was sent autumn-winter kit to review - a fact that did not escape me as I sailed past the frosted car roofs at the beginning of a four-hour ride. I will be forever thankful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My outfit consisted of a fleece-lined long sleeved jersey in bright blue, a windproof gilet, fleece-lined bib shorts, a Polartec beanie, oversocks and socks. I wore the lot, as well as a long-sleeved base layer and an additional pair of thick wool socks. I was that cold. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And as I coasted out I remember thinking that it obviously doesn’t get as cold in Italy as it does here. There was a bit of cold penetration through the beanie and the three-quarter length bibs would have left me with frozen shins if it wasn’t for the wool socks. But I wasn’t as cold as I thought I would be, especially seeing as I was only wearing a gilet to keep the wind out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The thing with cycling is that it doesn’t take very long to get warmed up. The first ten minutes are going to be teeth clenching even with an arctic parka on when you’re doing 20-odd mph in the open air. It’s the bit after that which sets decent gear apart from the rest. You need to reach a temperature and maintain it. If you get too warm you need to start de-layering and then you’re looking for places to stash the unwanted kit, unless you happen to have a team car trailing you. Then you stop for a couple of minutes and the layers go back on. It can be a nightmare.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Santini, as you might expect, utilises wicking fabrics and other similar features to make sure your discomfort is restricted to the lactic in your legs and does not extend to your gear. The fleece lining of the jersey was as cosy as it was comfy, and even at three-quarter length, the bib shorts also offered a decent degree of snugness, especially where it mattered the most. The padding was also mercifully generous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But as we all know, comfort might be an overriding factor, but style and looks play an increasingly important role when choosing cycing kit, particularly when it has the kind of fit of your average Spiderman outfit. There were no worries there. Santini is as Italian in style as it is in name. The jersey was reassuringly fitted, and the bib shorts were cut for riding, so there was no material dangling like a sack in front of me. A chin guard would have been good on the jersey's zipper and maybe one or two additional valuables pockets would have been handy, but overall it felt good. I felt like I should be doing a dolomite rather than tackling the Essex lanes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I guess there are some things even heritage can’t recreate. </div>

With its laid-back undertones which evoke feelings of college ball games even if you never went to college in the US, the varsity jacket has become a perennial favourite. The various styles and interpretations are legion bit this has to be one of the better offerings out there, and at a decent price too.

If you're wandering around Shoreditch with a sleeping bag tonight, as many of you most likely will be, you might want to join the line outside <a href="http://www.1948london.com/">1948 London</a> (the Nike store which sells the rare stuff) for the release of the new Flyknit Racer and HTM Flyknit Trainer+. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The store reckons there will be about 20 of these available in all sizes when they are released tomorrow (Saturday), so it's going to be up to you to decide whether they are just trying to put people off waiting or if they are actually telling the truth. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course you might think they are as close to vomit inducing as a pair of trainers could get. In which case you'll be fine. And, more than likely, dry. </div>

Acronym produces highly technical apparel with clear military influences using some of the most advance fabrics known to man. The stuff is pretty much the same from season to season with maybe the odd tweak here and there and the introduction of a few new designs. But essentially it doesn't date, which is a good thing when you get to find out the price tag.<br />
<br />
It has been labelled urban armour and it's easy to see why. It's also easy to see where the company is based and produces the majority of its goods - it is German in style and construction. It could be nothing else. It is also reliably rugged, which is handy.<br />

Uniform Experiment has been collaborating with Cahartt for three seasons now and I haven't seen a single item in person. Then again I only remember seeing one Carhartt x APC t-shirt ever.<br />
<br />
The benefits of these collaborations are obvious and this collection looks like a prime candidate for tracking down, although if the only option it Tokyo, they can, quite frankly, keep them.<br />

Take a look on the frame of that Italian bike you just bought and you'll most likely discover that it was actually made in Taiwan (but designed in Italy).

So it really needed an expo. Enter the <a href="http://www.taipeicycle.com.tw/">Taipei International Cycle Show</a>, which attracts industry insiders and cycle lovers in their thousands every March. Among these afficionados are the <a href="http://missionworkshop.com/">Mission Workshop</a> crew and John Prolly, who have made a little video of their trip.</div>
